Senior Tax Specialist
Howard
Role Description We are looking for a "Senior Tax Specialist" to own and scale our Sales & Occupancy Tax function for hospitality clients, particularly in the short-term rental space. This role will be critical in transitioning from a reactive, execution-focused approach to a more structured, proactive, and controlled tax operation. - Take full ownership of the end-to-end Sales & Occupancy tax function, ensuring 100% accurate and timely filings across complex multi-jurisdictional landscapes (State, County, and City levels). - Transition the tax operation from a reactive model to a structured, proactive department by designing and implementing scalable controls and reporting workflows. - Identify and resolve gaps in tax determination, specifically addressing hospitality "edge cases" such as cleaning fees, service charges, and mixed revenue streams. - Audit existing data flows between systems to identify inconsistencies, ensuring compliance and reducing financial risk across a growing geographic footprint. - Act as the primary point of contact for state and local tax jurisdictions, managing notices, inquiries, and potential audits with professional technical expertise. - Partner closely with clients to understand their operational setups, providing a service-oriented approach to align their property management structures with rigorous tax requirements. - Work with large datasets to perform deep-dive reconciliations between PMS platforms and financial records, ensuring all tax remittances are validated and audit-ready. Qualifications - Mandatory experience within the hospitality industry, specifically in short-term rentals (STR), property management, or lodging businesses. - Proven experience in end-to-end tax compliance, including direct exposure to multi-jurisdictional sales and occupancy tax filings. - You must have hands-on experience in day-to-end tax operations rather than a purely theoretical or advisory background. - Strong ability to work with and reconcile large datasets across various financial systems. - A high degree of accountability and the ability to operate under tight, recurring deadlines while navigating and improving evolving internal processes. Requirements - Experience with PMS Platforms such as Streamline, Guesty, or similar hospitality platforms (Nice to Have). - Proficiency in tax automation or ERP tools like Avalara or NetSuite (Nice to Have). Benefits - Work on complex, real-world tax problems—not theoretical compliance. - Own outcomes end-to-end with real accountability. - Be part of a rapidly scaling platform serving sophisticated clients. - Clear expectations, clean scopes, and a culture of “done means done.” - Opportunity to grow into senior tax leadership as the tax function scales.
